And I think it's a communication issue around the version numbering. The fact that this will be introduced with a v1.5.5 is, IMHO, a good part of the problem. If cvs 1.11 doesn't talk with 1.12 I'll say there are nuts - minor revisions should interoperate with end users not even thinking about it. But 1.5.5 has in its changelog lots of deprecations and interop changes. It's not good communication to label it 1.5.5. Other than that, it's an _amazing_ thing, and I'm in love with git. But the version number is a bit of a lie -- and is bound to confuse and anger end users. cheers, martin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
